HOW VALUABLE ARE EXPOSURE EVENTS?
The answer to this can vary drastically. Some events are great. Many can be a waste of money. A college coach usually goes to camps or showcases with a plan to specifically to watch someone already on his list, not to 'discover' new talent. They've to cross referenced their recruiting list with the roster from the event and they've done their homework. They normally don't show up just to randomly recruit the athletes in attendance. That would be very inefficient for them. If you do utilize camps, clinics, and exposure events it's important you do the legwork on the front end to establish recruiting relationships with college coaches so that when they come to the event you will be at they know you will be there ahead of time and have a chance to specifically designate time to evaluate you.
